It is not uncommon for a Hackaday writer to trawl the comments section of a given article, looking for insights or to learn something new. Often, those with experience in various fields will share ...

“We don’t need any energy input, and it bubbles hydrogen like crazy. I’ve never seen anything like it,” said UCSC Professor Scott Oliver, describing a new aluminum-gallium nanoparticle powder that ...

Aluminum is a highly reactive metal that can strip oxygen from water molecules to generate hydrogen gas. Its widespread use in products that get wet poses no danger because aluminum instantly reacts ...

Researchers are developing a new type of rocket propellant made of a frozen mixture of water and "nanoscale aluminum" powder that is more environmentally friendly than conventional propellants and ...

Scientists say they have found a new way to generate hydrogen gas from water at room temperature in what could be a step toward a clean and renewable energy source. Hydrogen has been researched as a ...

Hydrogen fuel is promising, and while there’s plenty of hydrogen in the air and water, the problem is extracting it. Researchers have developed a way to use aluminum nanoparticles to rip hydrogen out ...

Hydrogen has long been seen as the fuel of the future—a clean, efficient alternative to fossil fuels. But while it burns cleanly, most of today’s methods for making it still rely on dirty processes.

A new type of aluminum water battery has been developed at MIT spin-off Open Water Power (OWP) specifically for use with underwater systems, such as unpiloted underwater vehicles (UUVs). Although the ...
